1 Maverick Entrepreneur Can Transform an Industry1000 Together Can Transform the world

Maverick1000 is an invitation only, global network of industry transforming entrepreneurs connecting in bold new ways to challenge and collectively support each other’s biggest business goals, engage in reinvigorating experiences and co-create a worldwide multiplier impact.

Members meet periodically throughout the year to connect in bold, new ways to challenge and collectively support each other’s biggest business goals and personal growth, engage in exclusive experiences, and co-create a significant, worldwide multiplier impact (to date raising over $3 million+).

They believe their future is bigger than their past (regardless of what they’ve already achieved).

Maverick1000 was created to intentionally give you the push and support essential to accomplishing something that truly matters.

You can tap into other like-minded peers who really get where you’re going and where you’ve come from.

The right group of kindred spirits are eager to celebrate your wins, challenge you to greater accomplishments, share breakthrough ideas, and reinvigorate you during the natural emotional roller coaster of breaking new ground.

Quite frankly, the bigger the future you are working on creating, the more support, resources, trusted input, connections, and energy renewal you’ll need beyond the “ordinary.”

Who are these Impactful Entrepreneurs?

21st century business leaders who collide at the intersection of bold business initiatives, happiness and greater meaning. At their core they believe in growth, impact and joy…and how each one is interconnected.

“I’m proud to be an honorary Maverick”

What Maverick Members Say:

“It’s all about the people you surround yourself with… I mean the one thing I know for the money I’ve invested in this, just from the information I got alone, nevermind numerous contacts… financially I’ll get the money back very quick. But for the long-term development of my company, bar none, this has been the best investment I’ve ever made. It means the world to my company, and I truly mean that with all sincerity.”

Jason Katzenback

Co-founder, Amazing.com

“In this group you have a deeper sense of connection not only from a business level but also an emotional level and intellectual level. You have such great commonalities between the members, you feel like you’re not on this journey by yourself. One of the things that really drew me to this group was the giving back and making an impact in the world aspect…It’s amazing to see how the dynamics of this group and the culture that was created has a system and a process to see your ideas become actual impact.”

Steve Young

Physical Therapy Practice Management Leader

“The adventures really appealed to me and were right up my alley. I quickly realized that these events were not only EPIC, once-in-a-lifetime trips, but also created more authentic relationships through sharing unique experiences. The bonds formed through Maverick are deeper and more authentic than anything another networking group or mastermind can give you.”

William Lee

E-Commerce Specialist

“The entire group is centered around the pillars of making more money, having more fun and giving more back. Maverick is more balanced than most other business groups that typically only have one edge to them. Maverick feels like family.”

Mike Cline

CEO, Tech Guys Who Get Marketing

“Maverick is such an impactful part of my life that when people ask my kids what they want to be when they grow up, they say without hesitation, “Mavericks!”I would rather sooner not feed my family than not pay Maverick dues.”

Shelby Larson

Founder, Intentional Media (and mother of 5)

“Maverick takes me out of my day-to-day environment and allows me to grow as a person and in my business. The Mavericks are people I can turn to and count on under any circumstance at any time, day or night.”

Adam Summers

One of America’s top physicians and pioneers in the
surgical field who also operates a 100,000 member
doctors buying group

“As somebody who spends about two and a half weeks out of every month on the road, whenever I’m considering joining a group I really have to weigh do I have enough time for this and what kind of value am I going to get out of this?

Joey Coleman

In terms of the time, let’s be candid. As business owners, we often don’t make the time to work on our business…Going beyond business, what are we doing in our personal lives to make sure the mission of our business aligns with the mission of our personal life philosophy? Maverick helps you meld both of those, and that’s why I make the time to never miss a Maverick event.

If you’re considering joining Maverick, I highly recommend it. Yes, it’s commitment of time, effort, and money, but let’s be candid. What things in life that have any value don’t meet that criteria? I encourage you to put in the time, put in the effort, invest in yourself, decide that you want to join an organization of like minded individuals who are going to support you and push you to be the very best you can be.”

“We 3X our business with just one side conversation. These are obviously very successful entrepreneurs who are making good money, and these guys are just a blast…Everybody is just so welcoming and fun and funny. It’s just such a cool group of people, really successful, but just such a cool group of people.”

TERRA GOERES RAMACHANDRAN

Co-founder NET Momentum,
Leading Affiliate Management Company

“Being a member has been life-changing. It has kept me engaged and active and continuing to grow business-wise and personal… What got me excited was the adventure side; it’s an opportunity to sharpen the saw in my mind. I can be with other like-minded entrepreneurs and I have a big heart as far as wanting to give back… and I like to have a lot of fun. The network is fantastic and it’s not just the network of people you’re meeting here, but it’s also the network that they’re connected to.”

TONY RICCARDI

Co-founder, Listen Trust & multiple Inc500 winner

“…What I get here that I don’t get in other groups is there’s an intense form of tribe that we have within Maverick…. it’s deeper than most other groups that I’m in… Each time we get together, I find that I leave, and something has shifted. That could be a relationship. That could be something internal. It could be an experience I wouldn’t have had otherwise, and my life is just that one-degree different, and I have an inflection point each time we get together. It’s that level of depth that for me makes Maverick one of my top priorities.”

CHRIS PLOUGH

Founder MavenWire (now exited)

“The people at all different types of businesses, all different types of levels has really been enlightening… I try to make as many experiences and retreats as I can because it’s not about getting a tactic…or even strategy. Sure you can get that by talking to any one of the members, any one of the entrepreneurs here and they can deliver that in spades, but for me it’s just being around these people. It helps to evolve myself as an entrepreneur. To bring myself to that next level…and really helping to transition my business to get to that next level that I’ve been seeking for a long time. Actually not only delivering higher income but really helping to free up my time so that I can focus on the higher value tasks, and make a bigger impact
out there.”

Why The 1000?

The big idea is to light 1,000 ‘Suns’ who can each ignite another 1,000 suns.

A sun is a universe creator and responsible for life everywhere. Maverick1000 members are the visionary leaders and exceptional entrepreneurs with the significant reach, influence, voices, and capabilities to create universes. Members are nominated for their accomplishments, reach, influence, and capacity to be a “Sun” and light 1,000 more suns.

We’re looking for 3 categories:

You already have a big voice, reach or influence in the entrepreneurial community.

You are a world-class expert.

You are an industry leader who wants to become a lighthouse back to your industry or even transcend your current business category.

Members meet periodically throughout the year to connect in bold new ways to challenge and collectively support each other’s biggest business goals, engage in exclusive experiences and co-create a significant, worldwide multiplier impact.

This is a small glimpse at the caliber of connections and expertise in the network. But our reach extends to our Maverick 1° Network…

Maverick Retreats and Experiences

Most entrepreneurs don’t realize the extent of their burnout, reduced energy, and creativity that comes from being “always on.” Maverick gives you a reason (and pragmatic ROI) to make time to rebuild, recharge & rejuvenate.

Throughout the year, members are invited to take part in unique events such as 3X Maverick Multiplier Retreats with participating icons, Epic Experiences like journeying to Machu Pichu or flying MiG jets in Russia, Impact trips to build self-sustaining villages in Haiti, family learning opportunities, and even Camp Maverick.

Maverick Impact

We named the group Maverick1000 because we believe a small group of 1,000 extraordinary individuals and leaders can truly change the world. 10% of Maverick member fees go directly into a joint Impact fund to co-create a significant “ripple” effect. To date, we’ve raised over $3,000,000+ in charitable contributions…but even more powerful is contributing our brainpower, resources, and network to exponentially increase our total impact.

During 3X Retreats and experiences, Maverick members have the opportunity to make a measurable difference with our collective entrepreneurial resources by working with cause partners and/or mentoring new mission-driven startups.

We’ve previously worked on big issues like developing self-sustaining economic engines for villages we built in Haiti, helping develop educational programs for protecting the headwaters of the Amazon, aiding returning vets with entrepreneurial opportunities, and tackling global issues such as the declining bee population, the recent refugee crisis, and many more. What’s more, each year Maverick members are invited to Sir Richard Branson’s private island to brainstorm key projects for Virgin Unite.
